Daniel Barenboim conducts Schubert and Beethoven

Schubert’s Seventh Symphony is shrouded in mystery – not only because it remained unfinished, but also because its inner turmoil allows us to look deep into the soul of Romanticism: anxiety and distress, idyll and joie de vivre are closely intertwined. Daniel Barenboim, honorary conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker, juxtaposes this work with Beethoven’s Seventh – a symphony that knows no doubts, and radiates both optimism and fighting spirit.
